Answer:

For this lesson task I have a little bit bad time. So, I think I did not do it good enough like it should be but I try my best I can. Sometime in the future if I have time, I will look back at this lesson task one more time and try to do it better than now.

This is the cover that I have added a spot varnish to the cover and change the design to use spot colours.

For this Magazine style brochure, I decide to use paper weight 90gsm and type silk coated paper. For the type of binding I will use saddle stich.
